Wanna see some real working QUAD SLI or 4x 7800GTX graphic card results on Futuremark products?
As cool as this is, exactly who needs $2000 worth of SLI'd Geforce 7800GTX videocards in one single PC? Is dual SLI really necessary, or are we just going overboard?

As the benchmarks show, the four cards in 8-8-8-8 show no significant gains over the two cards in 16-16. And the two card setup is actually faster in Doom, HL2, and FarCry, which is more important than sinthetic tests anyway.

Maybe if you had four full speed x16 lanes and updated drivers specifically for a setup like that you could reap the benefits, but even then you only need 60-70 fps to comfortably play a game. Four video card is a waste of money. They should donate one of them to me.
